The most comprehensive survey of the Video-on-the-Internet market.

This report compiles and analyzes websites that offer videos that entertain & inform. From Amazon.com to YouTube, the Web is being flooded with videos - entertainment, sports, news and information. Everything from first run movies and TV shows to user-generated videos. You need a program to tell them apart.

"Video Vision: A Survey of Web Sites Offering Video - 2007" contains research and analysis from Rider Research, the publisher of The Online Reporter. Available now, it's the best way to keep up.

The report consists of:

• A directory of over 300 Web sites that offer video including the company name, address, phone number
• Short reports on each Web site such as monetization method and topics.
• An overview of the industry since the beginning of last year.
• Spreadsheet-style 'at-a-glance' data about the Web sites.
• Optional - three quarterly updates: September '07, December '07, March '08

It is produced by Rider Research, the publisher of The Online Reporter, the weekly digital content & broadband bulletin.

Video Takes Over the Internet. Or the Internet Takes Over

To say that video on the Internet exploded in 2006 is a vast understatement. It was a shock wave preparing us for the major seismic activity that's already occurring in 2007.

All the major TV networks, from the BBC to NBC and beyond, are now offering some of their shows online, either as ad-supported streams, for-pay downloads or, in some cases, both.

Amazon and AOL joined Apple, CinemaNow, Movielink and Starz with selling movie and television show downloads.

In what is perhaps the biggest online initiative, Britain's ITV announced plans to stream all of its TV channels live over the Internet.

Google famously shelled out $1.65 billion for video-sharing site YouTube warts, threats of lawsuits and all.

Microsoft turned the Xbox 360 videogame console into a networked entertainment device with the introduction of the Xbox Live Video Marketplace which has more than 1,000 hours of downloadable movies and TV episodes from the likes of Warner Bros, MTV and Paramount pictures available in both standard- and high-definition formats.

While sites like YouTube and AddictingClips fill our need for a quick fix or a laugh, other sites like Blip.TV, Metacafe and the new AOL Video site provide longer-length programming with higher production value to keep us occupied when even those hundreds of digital cable or satellite TV channels don't provide anything we want to watch.

We have identified over 300 sites that currently offer video in "Video Vision: A Survey of Video Web Sites: 2007." The list certainly isn't complete. There are more popping up weekly. Most of the sites included are in English, which no doubt leaves many that are in other languages.

The report focuses only on video that can be found on the Net, whether free, pay-per-view or by monthly or annual subscription.
